Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate

The Holy Trinity Priory was a Catholic priory located near Aldgate in the City of London, London, England. It was founded in 1108 by Queen Matilda of England, and it was especially popular with the elit. The priory was renovated from the late 12th century until 1350, and it was dissolved in February 1532 three years before King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. Chancellor Thomas Audley adapted the Priory buildings to serve as a jail for suspects accused of treason, and, in 1592, it was divided into smaller houses and industrial premises. It is located next to Mitre Square, the site of one of Jack the Ripper's murders.
